Osso buco à la milanaise — jarret de veau braisé
Milan's great braise: thick cross-cut veal shanks browned and slowly simmered with soffritto, white wine and broth until the meat is fork-tender and the marrow in the bone turns silky. Finished with gremolata — a bright hit of raw lemon zest, garlic and parsley — osso buco alla Milanese is traditionally served with saffron risotto (risotto alla Milanese). It's elegant, deeply savoury winter food that rewards a long, gentle cook.

Saltimbocca alla romana — veau au prosciutto et à la sauge
Rome's quick, elegant classic whose name means 'jumps in the mouth': thin veal escalopes each topped with a slice of prosciutto and a sage leaf, pan-fried in butter and finished with a quick white wine pan sauce. Saltimbocca alla Romana is ready in minutes and tastes far more luxurious than the effort — the salty prosciutto, fragrant sage and tender veal in a glossy buttery sauce are a perfect, restrained trio.

Blanquette de Veau
One of the great classics of French home cooking: tender veal gently poached (never browned) with aromatic vegetables, then served in a velvety white sauce enriched with cream and egg yolk and brightened with lemon, studded with button mushrooms and glazed pearl onions. Blanquette de veau is elegant, comforting and pale-gold — the whole art is keeping it white by poaching rather than searing, and finishing with a silky liaison. Pure French Sunday-lunch soul food.
